Real simple modules over simply-laced quantum affine algebras and categorifications of cluster algebras

Abstract: Let

m a t h s c r C

be the category of finite-dimensional modules over a simply-laced quantum affine algebra

U_{q} (w i d e h a t m a t h f r a k g)

. For any height function

x i

and

e l l i n m a t h b b Z_{g e q 1}

, we introduce certain subcategories

m a t h s c r C_{e}^{l e q x i} l l

of

m a t h s c r C

, and prove that the quantum Grothendieck ring

K_{t} (m a t h s c r C_{e}^{l e q x i} l l)

of

m a t h s c r C_{e}^{l e q x i} l l

admits a quantum cluster algebra structure. Using

F

-polynomials and monoidal categorifications of cluster algebras, we classify all real simple modules in

m a t h s c r C_{1}^{l e q x i}

in terms of their highest

e l l

-weight monomials, among them the families of type

D

and type

E

are new. For any

e l l

, inspired by Hernandez and Leclerc's work, we propose two conjectures for the study of real simple modules, and prove them for the subcategories

m a t h s c r C_{e}^{l e q x i} l l

whose Grothendieck rings are cluster algebras of finite type.
